Review Roundup For Fast X
The first reviews for the next Fast and the Furious movie, Fast X, are here, and they are not as universally positive as fans no doubt hoped as the series approaches the finish line.
Fast X marks the beginning of the end. In the tenth installment of the Fast and Furious franchise, Dominic Toretto finds himself facing a formidable adversary, Dante Reyes. Jason Momoa steps in as the big bad, a notorious drug lord whose criminal empire was disrupted by Dominic and his team in a daring heist in Rio de Janeiro. The events of that heist resulted in the loss of the Reyes family's fortune, and Dante is consumed by a burning desire for revenge.
Fast X is written and directed by Dan Mazeau and Justin Lin, and directed by Louis Leterrier. The film's sizable and formidable ensemble includes Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris «Ludacris» Bridges, Jason Momoa, John Cena, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Brie Larson, Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron, and Rita Moreno.
As of this writing, Fast X has an aggregate score of 59 on Metacritic, based on 43 critic reviews. Over on Rotten Tomatoes, the film again has 59% based on 95 reviews. These scores will shift as other outlets publish their takes, and since it isn't out yet, there are no audience ratings available yet.
In GameSpot's Fast X review, Phil Owens writes that the movie falls short in terms of quality, storytelling, and memorable moments, indicating a decline in the franchise's once-successful formula. His review also notes that Fast X suffers from flawed execution, lackluster storytelling, and an excessive reliance on rehashed elements from previous films. The franchise could still redeem itself, as it apparently still has two more movies to go.
